This stems from our ‘Drink Well’ philosophy where quality matters more than quantity. It might sound idealistic, but we strive to bottle perfection with our small batch craft spirits, carefully blended with fine molasses and wood-matured cane spirit.
And led by a banker turned bartender, we understand the value of chasing your dreams and seeking truly rewarding experiences.
Our White Rum is the Bartender’s Edition. With a clear colour, boasting creamy and elegant aromas, Maka Zai White Rum is made with sugarcane grown in and around the Panchaganga river in Maharashtra. Because the fermentation and distillation take place in the region where the cane is grown, the rum picks up the influences of the red soil, making it floral, sweet, spicy and herbaceous.
This crystal clear, complex, vibrant and medium-bodied white rum is packed with funky tropical characteristics in its every sip, paying homage to the unsung passion and talent of those bartenders who have enough stories for many a lifetime. Having toiled behind the bar for years to serve us delightful drinks, we wanted to return the favour with an entire bottle.

We call our Gold Rum the Tribute Edition. High-quality and matured, it is blended on the Goan seashore. Hints of praline, dry dates, figs, caramel, cinnamon and honey create a symphony of notes. Together with a creamy mouthfeel and a wellrounded vanilla accent. A perfect dessert and sipping rum, its silky, elegant but approachable charm gives you the feeling of a sunny, late afternoon. You will want a bottle for all the people and moments worth celebrating.
We are a small, homegrown and independent unit that’s confident in our ability to serve up ‘micro-marvels’ that elevate your drinking experience. Our ambition and dedication are represented by a tiny yet marvelous creature – the Olive Ridley turtle. Born on Goan soil in which we have our roots, it begins its perilous journey and travels up to 9000km but makes its way back home.
We want to take the finely-crafted taste of Maka Zai across the country to be shared by you with your nearest and dearest. On that delightful note, we hope you enjoy our rum as much as we’ve enjoyed making it. And we hope it reminds you that wonders are truly possible when you keep on chasing whatever it you’re chasing. Because that’s what it does for us.
